I got some lovely perfume from an indie perfume brand and I am obsessed with them. the brand is Death and Floral I got a perfume called Nothing rusts in the desert the air is full of Ghosts" a nice light cactus flower/grass/rain scent that's great for spring/summer. and it came with a 5 ml bottle of their "Plain Jane" perfume which is the yummiest coffee scent ever it would be a great fall/winter scent but I can't wait that long, it's too good I am In Love with it oh my god
I, like most, had to read Jane Eyre for high school and while it wasn't my favorite, Charlotte Bronte is a literary genius. And having recently watched the 1943 and 2011 movie adaptations, I had to make fan art.
I fucking hate being a plain Jane. Parents tell you to be careful because all the guys will be after you for one thing, relatives tell you you're gonna break so many hearts, family friends tell you they would have talked to you if y'all had been the same age.
My actually pretty friends told me highschool dating isn't all it's cracked out to be anyway, and my sister just rolled their eyes and told me I looked fine and their friends told me I shouldn't date until I'm happy being single, anyway.
I'm sick of everyone trying to placate me. Even if they're not lying, since obviously people close to you are gonna look at you differently, the fact of the matter is that I'm the only one in my family who hasn't dated or been asked out not as an elementary school dare or people known for asking out anyone who treated them nicely.
I'm not physically beautiful, my real personality under my good, studious, nice girl persona is even more unattractive, and I'm not well off enough for people to even pretend I'm likeable. I know it, strangers and acquaintances know it, so for just once, I don't want to be told that I'm just insecure, or to give it time.
